Summary: 5 star Film, 15 Star DVD... ...time is running out!!!
Review: I just bought this film. It is becoming increasingly difficult to find (check out my review date). For anyone collecting Disney animated features; GRAB IT NOW!!
What can I say about the film that hasn't been said. Despite its' age (The first animated feature)it has some of my favorite Disney animated moments. This film carries with it a sense of real innocence and purity of story that has not been acheived since. Here is a list of what I liked about this DVD and Film; THE FILM -Again, purity and innocence of story.
-Dance sequence in dwarfs cottage, one of the most joyful in film history.
-Dwarfs mourning over the Princess, one of the most heart-wrenching in film history.
-As benign as the Princess is, she has moments of incredible charm and like-ability; "YOU must be GRUMPY" hits the nail on the head!!
-Wicked Queen starts the Disney tradition of villains with a bang. She's so mean and crazy she taunts skeletons in her dungeon; "..WANT A DRINK!?". -Artwork is dated... ...and icredibly charming. The colors used are breathtaking.
-Songs are timeless. THE DVD
-Quality of picture and sound as good as can be expected for the time of original production. You really must nit-pick to find a flaw.
-Extras are overwhelming!!
-Dopey's mine ride is a cute little game.
-Deleted scenes a real treat. One of them actually fully colored with backgrounds. "Musical Soup" is hillarious!
-"The Goddess of Spring" short film is very interesting. It's use as a "test" for the Snow White concept is obvious. Some good chuckles for it's crude execution.
-The worst thing with this DVD is how difficult it is removing the disks from their hubs.
-I wish Wide Screen existed when Disney made this film, just imagine.... Regrettably, I've owned this DVD for 24 hours so I have not had the time to view all of it. However, it's safe to say that I love it so far! I'm not an "easy" critic for what that's worth. I know this is a pricey DVD even by Disney standards. But concider that my collection of 70 DVDs has an average price of $12 and I do not regret this purchase for one minute!!! A MUST HAVE!!!

Summary: they don't come any "softer"
Review: I own about 3/4 of disney animations.
Snow White is one of the oldest ones, but they really don't come much softer or more tasteful.
It's full of funny speeches, and the dance scenes float smoothly and the songs are very cute.
Definitely worth owning.

Summary: Mildly Entertaining
Review: The animation and quality is spectacular! However, little of interest happens beyond the story we all know and can be summed up in a sentence. The extras are decent and Mike Eisner shows up to remind us that he will never be Walt Disney - Ever. Probably not something you'll watch over and over without young kids present. Disney succeeded wonderfully but it can't hold up too well.

Summary: Fairest One of All
Review: Walt Disney's first feature length animated film is just as much of a classic today as it was when it first premiered in 1937. The story of the beautiful princess taken in by seven kindly dwarfs in order to protect her from her evil stepmother, the Queen, is a magical adventure that unfolds almost as if it is a fairytale book that has come to life (which, in a way, it is). The memorable characters and songs are sure to make this a favorite of every member of the family. The DVD complements the enchanting film with a virtual journey into Snow White's World guided by the magic mirror which is found on disk two. This includes interactive environments, galleries of artwork, and extras such as deleted scenes, rejected concepts, and vintage audio and films which any Disney fan or film historian will find fascinating. All in all, a wonderful addition to any DVD collection.

Summary: A Masterpiece gets the Treatment it Deserves
Review: The Disney Company has over used the term Masterpiece when referring to its own movies. But this one truly deserves that title. While its animation betray its age, the story and characters are still fun, and its place in history also makes it a must. The story is simple and familiar. Snow White's wicket stepmother wants her killed because Snow White is "the fairest of them all." She is saved from this fate, and hides out with seven dwarfs. But will the queen find her and try to kill her? Walt's genius here was in creating the characters. The dwarfs have very distinctive personalities, and some of the best scenes in the movie revolve around them. (The scene where they first come home is a classic.) The animals add some humor as well, especially when cleaning the cottage. The plot moves along well, and when I first saw it in college, I was drawn into the story even though I knew the ending. I actually felt tears when the dwarfs were mourning Snow White.
By today's standards, the animation is flawed, especially for the prince. However, there are some truly beautiful scenes as well, particularly the sun set when the dwarfs are coming home. Fans of Disney in the 30's will recognize the feel of some of the silly symphony cartoons. The important thing to remember when watching this movie is its place in history. This is the first animated movie ever, produced when everyone thought no one would ever see it. The fact that we're still watching it is a testimony to Walt as a filmmaker and pioneer. This DVD set is the perfect way to enjoy this movie. The picture and soundtrack have been lovingly restored, and look and sound incredible. The sound is presented in Dolby 5.1 and its original mono. I didn't notice that much difference between the two modes, but it's nice to have the option. The first disc also contains a wonderful audio commentary. Recorded interviews with Walt Disney are interspersed with comments from John Canemaker. I learned quite a bit about the film from this commentary. The second disc contains all you would ever want to know about the history of the film. They've got character design changes, completely abandoned concepts, deleted scenes, and information on the releases over the years to name a few things. I spent hours soaking up the information and enjoying every moment of it. This is truly a classic movie that belongs in any film fan's library. Hurry and get this wonderful set before it disappears.

Summary: A CLASSIC THAT REMAINS A CLASSIC!
Review: Sometimes movies are labeled classic, and yet they date poorly. It isn't always the fault of the movie, but can be blamed on modern sensibilities. Take a movie like THE LOST WEEKEND (about alcoholism). It was a classic in its day due to its harrowing treatment of a subject that hadn't really been tackled by film up to that point. But today, after dozens of TV movies on the subject, our ability to be moved by THE LOST WEEKEND is disappaited. We have to tell ourselves as we watch it, "Yeah, this is a classic. Remember, this is the 1940s. It must have been quite something." SNOW WHITE is the opposite. It is a classic, a charming classic, all on its own. A delight from start to finish. And telling yourself, "This was made 80 years ago," only enhances the experience. All children MUST see this movie. As a 39 year old man, I'm hardly the audience for it, but WOW, it still holds up. There is minimal dialogue on the movie, yet the antics with the dwarves are so charming and funny, you just can't help but smile. And the creepy scenes really are creepy. And you MUST own the DVD. It is SO full of extras that you just won't see anywhere else. Although perhaps not as mind-boggling as the extras of, say, LORD OF THE RINGS, the completeness is still pretty amazing. This was the first movie to offer its extras in an organized manner, a "tree" of extras, if you will, and the DVD will be considered a classic too.

Summary: Great for kid and adults
Review: WOW! I got this for my AFI 100 Best Films collection and this by far is one of my favorites. Kids will love this for the same reasons we and previous generations did. And adults and film buffs will love it for the sheer volume of extras that this DVD comes with. It's almost as if the movie is secondary! There is so much here it even comes with a guided tour which I highly recommend taking. Before you do that though, leave the disc on the main menu screen for awhile. The Magic Mirror will let you know what he thinks about you taking your time! This is also a great way to introduce your kids to Walt Disney as he is clearly throughout the entire DVD. Hopefully they will be as entranced as we were. The "Disney Through the Ages" is my favorite featurette. It takes you decade by decade from the year Snow White was released until the year 2000. You have the option to play each separately or all together. This even has deleted scenes and songs from over 60 years ago! Kudos to the Mouse for the time and effort on a format for much a beloved film! Get this while it lasts.
